Final!

This is my final project for my digital design class! My class had to create their own cereal box using photo shop. I really enjoyed this class and I think I am really going to miss it. My favorite part was learning how to do so many different things with a picture in photo shop.

I created this Gloggster about my life and the things that I love about it.

Facebook

Personally I do have a Facebook account and there are pro's to having one. One pro would be the fact that Facebook really can help you stay in touch with people you lost contact with but you want to see again. Another pro would be you really can make new friends safely if you know what you are doing and who you are talking to or the fact that it's a good way to express yourself without going crazy. Unfortunately every social media site does have its cons. What you post on the internet really is permanent so be careful what you say. Nothing is "personal" when it comes to being online, even if you think you are just talking to a couple people. You could lose a job for just saying what you feel. In the Facebook video we watched an older lady lost her job for saying her opinion about someone else, even though it was her account and her opinion.

 I think Facebook is fine in moderation but everyone should have a life outside of it and another way to express yourself.

In this photo "Light saber" a photo was taken of a guy holding a broom stick(most of the kids in my class had a photo of themselves but I was gone the day we took those photos.) I used photo shop to edit it. The first thing I did was I used the pen tool to select the broom stick and change it from brown to white. Then I used to lasso tool to select the now white broom stick. Using color and balance I gave it a purple glow. Then I used the lasso tool again to select part of his hand and pant to give them the purple tint from the light saber.

This photo is called "My landscape." In this photo I took a blank white photo and used the brush tool, stamp tool,  and the pen tool. I used the pen tool to draw the outline of the island, then I changed the foreground color to a sandy brown and used the paint bucket to fill in the island. Then I changed the foreground color to a blue for the water and a dark blue for the night sky. Then I used the stamp tool for my stars in the sky.

This photo is called "Johnny's landscape." This was the first of all three photos that I made. This photo was the most Challenging because this is where I had to learn to use all the tools that I would then go on to use in the photos above. I feel like this photo was defiantly the hardest but it was worth it because now I know more Photo shop skills!

Goamine

My latest project was done on Goamine.com. I made a scene from Madagascar 2 the movie. This is the scene where Melman tells Gloria, or tries to tell her, how he feels about her. Gloria though has more important things on her mind and does not want to talk to Melman right now; Gloria would rather go on her date with Moto Moto.

This master piece was done on Pic monkey.com. I went to special effects and changed the color of my skin with Coven complexion. Then I gave myself tooth decay and hag eyes all for the fun of Halloween. I added a witch hat for the full effect and to spice up the scene a spider web layered with a spider pet. 

In this project I used photo shop to edit one of my senior pictures and make myself an alien. I used color replacement to turn my skin and hair an alien green color. I also used the duplication stamp to give myself multiple eyes. I added my name in the lower right hand corner with the text application also in photo shop. I thought this project was a lot of fun but I hope I don't turn into an alien anytime soon.
